For The Addams Family, Conrad Vernon (Shrek 2Monsters vs. AliensMadagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted) and Greg Tiernan (Thomas & FriendsDay of the Diesels) direct a voice cast led by Golden Globe winner Oscar Isaac (Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Annihilation) as Gomez Addams, with Academy Award winner Charlize Theron (Atomic BlondeMad Max: Fury Road) as Morticia Addams, Chloë Grace Moretz (The Miseducation of Cameron PostIf I Stay) as Wednesday Addams, Finn Wolfhard (ItNetflix’s Stranger Things) as Pugsley Addams, Nick Kroll (Big MouthSing) as Uncle Fester, Bette Midler (Hocus PocusBeaches) as Grandma, Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade) as Margaux, and Academy Award winner Allison Janney (I, Tonya) as the family’s arch-nemesis Margaux Needler.

Morticia, devilishly devoted to her husband and children, is the pale glue that holds her clan together. Gomez, debonair, sinister and passionately in love with his wife, is enthusiastic about whatever dreadful scheme he’s cooked up. Wednesday is a brilliant and sinister teenage girl with long braids and deadpan wit. Pugsley, a menacing 10-year-old on over-drive, enjoys getting into any kind of dreadful mischief he can find. Mad Uncle Fester is good-natured, merry and likes to create mayhem any way he can. Grandmama is smitten with her grandchildren who enjoy her cookies shaped like bats and skulls. Margaux Needler, the reality TV makeover queen, is consumed with a desire for absolute suburban, pastel perfection.
